Abstract
Venereal diseases still offer a major threat to marriage, family life, and reproduction in many parts of the world, including Norway. This country experienced a sharp rise in incidence when the pre-war control program was sabotaged during the Nazi occupation. Eliot outlined the development of venereal disease control and certain aspects of public education on venereal diseases in Norway. In spite of the interruption of these efforts during World War II, a rapid fall in the annual rates for venereal diseases was recorded in recent years. The author also described the problems of venereal diseases and the use of prophylactic measures in the Norwegian occupation brigade in Germany.
